arm64: renesas: Add TFA BL31 handoff support on Renesas R-Car Gen4
Implement custom U_BOOT_FIT_LOADABLE_HANDLER and armv8_switch_to_el2_prep() handling in case the TFA was loaded. The loadables handler sets up custom handoff structure used by Renesas TFA fork in fixed location in DRAM and indicates the TFA has been loaded. The custom armv8_switch_to_el2_prep() handling tests whether the TFA BL31 was previously loaded and the custom handoff structure was set up, and if so, jumps to TFA BL31 which switches from EL3 to EL2 and then returns to U-Boot just past bl in armv8_switch_to_el2() to finish starting the Linux kernel. The jump to Linux through TFA works in such a way that the custom armv8_switch_to_el2_prep() handler configures the custom handoff structure such that the target jump address of the TFA BL31 on exit is set to the armv8_switch_to_el2() + 4, which is just past the bl, and just before the U-Boot code which implements the Linux kernel boot from either EL. The registers passed through the TFA BL31 are all the registers passed into armv8_switch_to_el2_prep() to assure maximum compatibility with all the boot modes. The armv8_switch_to_el2_prep() handler jumps to the TFA BL31, which does its setup, drops EL from EL3 to EL2 and finally jumps to the armv8_switch_to_el2() + 4 entry point, which then allows U-Boot to boot the Linux kernel the usual way. In order to build suitable kernel fitImage, build TFA first, upstream is currently under review: https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/35799 Or if necessary, downstream repository: remote: https://github.com/renesas-rcar/arm-trusted-firmware.git branch: rcar_gen4_v2.7_v4x ``` $ git clean -fqdx $ MBEDTLS_DIR=/path/to/mbedtls/ make -j$(nproc) bl31 \ PLAT=rcar_gen4 ARCH=aarch64 LSI=V4H SPD=none \ CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0 MBEDTLS_COMMON_MK=1 \ PTP_NONSECURE_ACCESS=1 LOG_LEVEL=20 DEBUG=0 \ ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=0 E=0 ``` Build Linux kernel Image and device tree from current mainline Linux kernel repository, obtain 'Image' and 'r8a779g0-white-hawk.dtb' . Bundle the files together using provided fit-image.its fitImage description: ``` $ mkimage -f fit-image.its fitImage ``` To start the kernel fiImage generated in previous step, load fitImage to DRAM and use the 'bootm' command to start it: => load 0x58000000 ... fitImage && bootm 0x58000000 Signed-off-by: Marek Vasut <marek.vasut+renesas@mailbox.org>
